The Last Sentinel

The Human Alliance Code, which was adopted from the Earth Alliance Code during the Earth Alliance era, was signed by Pangu, the first Speaker of the Earth Alliance era.

Article 7, Paragraph 2 of the Human Alliance Code stipulates that Human Alliance fighters and non-combatants on the ground have an obligation to care for and protect ordinary people and grassroots personnel, but have no obligation to protect any mid-level or higher-level officers, and officers may not use any excuse to demand that Human Alliance fighters and staff protect them.

This regulation seems quite abstract at first glance.

The Human Alliance warriors can protect civilians and grassroots members, but they cannot protect the middle and upper levels. Is this statement a mistake?

In fact, when this regulation was first established, many people did not understand it. Later, Pangu explained this regulation.

The Human Alliance is a human supremacist alliance.

The cornerstone of the Human Rights Alliance is meritocracy.

The worship of the strong is an unchanging characteristic of Homo sapiens.

Human Alliance officials are necessarily strong members of the Human Alliance, but strong members of the Human Alliance are not necessarily Human Alliance officials.

If an Alliance officer needs the protection of lower-ranking soldiers, it means that the Alliance officer is weak.

The fact that a weak person has appeared in a high position indicates that there are problems within the Human Alliance.

The fastest way to solve this problem is to get rid of the person who caused the problem, to get rid of this weakling!

As it turns out, Pangu's words were true. Apart from Pangu, who survived being exiled, almost all of the four official chairmen who came after him were assassinated!

The difference is that some were directly assassinated, while others were indirectly assassinated!

The parliament went from the initial parliament to Parliament No. 1, Parliament No. 2, and so on, until it was renamed Parliament No. 5.

With the Speaker ousted and a new Speaker taking office, the entire power structure within the Human Alliance is nothing short of a blatant open competition!

Whoever is the strongest should take the stage!

It must be said that although this move was a bit cruel, it greatly improved the efficiency of the speaker's position!

Kerenmeng has never slowed down because of this, nor has it gone astray!

Almost all the official speakers who come to power are ruthless werewolves who have survived countless trials and tribulations!

When they fight against those alien bastards, each of them is a living devil capable of leading battleships to block stargates.

Until—the arrival of Senate President Hughes.

Hughes can be said to have single-handedly lowered the height of the Speaker, the theoretically strongest member of the Human Alliance, and the theoretical ceiling of human strength.

Hughes's qualifications were truly absurdly poor, but when the planetary defense war ended, those more capable than Hughes were either exiled or eliminated. Among the dwarfs, only Hughes, who commanded a complete fighting force, could be chosen.

Hughes was well aware of his own capabilities and had witnessed the gruesome deaths of his four predecessors. In order not to follow in their footsteps, Hughes found the strongest security company in the mortal world, and while maximizing security measures, he frequently changed his address.

But are these things really useful?

The geniuses in the Human Alliance, to put it bluntly, are all superhumans. How can ordinary security forces possibly contend with them?

Leaving aside psychic ability users like Sentinels, even ordinary elemental, animal, and nature ability users could easily overpower ordinary security personnel.

Where do you get the confidence, Hughes, to fight off assassins with superpowers?

"Unless, of course, the island itself was a massive safe house built by Hughes!"

"Hughes is absolutely safe on this island!"

Hua Xiaobai pulled up her baseball cap and glanced at the white snow outside the car window. The island was quite desolate, with only a few ten-story buildings and heavy snow falling on the streets. There wasn't a single pedestrian in sight.

Dian Wei, sitting in the back, snorted, "So what if it's a super-large safe house? We'll just say we're subordinates here to report a problem! I want to ask him face-to-face why he's blocking our official membership in the alliance! We've all fought side-by-side in Perfect City, we've all contributed to eradicating the Neanderthals, the Sentinels and Lord Zhao have already approved it, why are you holding us back!"

Xu Chu added fuel to the fire, "In my opinion, this old bastard just wants benefits; he wants us to give him gifts!"

Dian Wei rubbed his fists together. "I'll punch him twice! He doesn't even deserve a gift! I'm only giving gifts to Lord Sentinel!"

Brother Eighty coughed and said, "Alright, you two blockheads! Stop embarrassing yourselves! Little White, is his place far away?"

Hua Xiaobai said, "I didn't go to his place, I went to a tavern he frequents. He goes to the tavern to drink every afternoon."

"Oh, drinking? I like it too, let's go get some!"

"Let's drink and wait for this old bastard. We'll ask him what he's thinking then and there. If he shows any sign of arrogance, we'll just kill him! Keeping him alive is just asking for trouble!"

"That's right, if he shows even the slightest sign of defiance, kill him!"

"When we chat later, Xiaobai, don't immediately say you're from the Human Alliance. Try to get information out of him first!"

Hua Xiaobai rolled her eyes. "Awei, it's one thing for others to teach me how to do things, but with your intelligence level that hasn't even been boosted, forget it. Do you think I'd just stupidly reveal my identity like that? I'd definitely side with Hughes, lavish praise on him, then badmouth Sentinel Zhao Donglai, and try to get information out of him!"

Amidst the discussion, the car stopped in front of the tavern.

This is a very old stone tavern. The entire tavern presents a sharp Gothic architectural style, with weathered boulders, smoked chimneys, and narrow windows, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

"This tavern has a history!"

"Be careful, this island is probably not a safe place! This tavern gives me the vibe of the 'Weird Society'!"

The group pushed open the heavy wooden door, and a strong smell of alcohol hit them.

This was a beverage with a strong, sweet, bloody flavor; upon first glance, everyone who entered the room turned cold.

There's no other reason than that everyone has smelled this kind of alcohol, and some have even drunk it.

The aroma of this liquor is unmistakably that of "Troll Blood," brewed by the Neanderthals!

【Troll Blood】, cloyingly sweet, a high-concentration sweetener; one sip and you'll instantly go from low blood sugar to diabetes.

Moreover, it has severe negative effects; drinking too much can cause people to enter a deep hibernation, where they may sleep for several months at a time.

How could such a forbidden substance as "Troll Blood" appear in the surface world, especially where Hughes lives?

Could this be the legendary "blind spot under the lamp"?

The group approached the stage, where the white-haired bartender sized them up, his blue eyes sweeping over the face of the leader, Hua Xiaobai. "Hey buddy, you look unfamiliar! Not from around here, are you?"

Hua Xiaobai didn't speak, but simply said, "Seven Bloody Marys, on the rocks!"

The bartender said, "We just got our hands on some [Troll Blood], fresh stock! Want some? I guarantee it's something you've never tasted before!"

Hua Xiaobai said irritably, "【Troll Blood】? You mean those cheap drinks made by those low-IQ Neanderthals? Don't you want to know what the word 'troll' means? I'm afraid my IQ will drop if I drink their drinks!"

The bartender said, "Wow, you know a lot, buddy! It's rare to see an alien criminal so knowledgeable about this planet!"

Brother Eighty frowned and said, "Alien criminals? What are you talking about!"

The bartender was taken aback, then pointed at the vast bar, "Who here isn't an alien criminal? Who wasn't exiled to Earth to serve time? Aren't you all alien criminals?"

Hua Xiaobai quickly pulled Eighty Brother back, smiling broadly, "Sorry, my friend was just exiled to Earth. He's upset about the verdict and isn't adjusting well. Don't worry about it!"

The bartender snorted. "New here, huh? No wonder you were so arrogant. You'll behave yourself in a while! Here's your Bloody Mary. Find an empty table and sit down! Remember to pay the bill before you leave!"

Hua Xiaobai and his friends carried their drinks to a corner table.

Brother Eighty's eyes widened as he stared at the other drinkers around him, lowering his voice: "It seems we've stumbled into something incredible."

Old Liu from Hanzhong nodded, "You should say that everyone here except us humans is an alien."

Ah Fei whispered, "Big brother, isn't that like the plot of 'Men in Black'? A real-life version of 'Men in Black'? Does that mean all these people around us are aliens in human skin?"

Ayu said, "Isn't that obvious? The filmmakers over there at the Lighthouse have very limited imaginations. Almost all the movies they make are based on real-world events. 'Men in Black' is such a classic; it must exist in real life too! It's the same principle as the Jaegers in 'Atlantic Rim'!"

Ah Fei said, "Second Brother, the one you watched, 'Atlantic Rim,' was a pirated copy. The real one is 'Pacific Rim'!"

Ah Yu's face flushed red. "Why should I correct you?! Just drink your wine!"

Hua Xiaobai twirled his wine glass, muttering, "Brother Mengde, no wonder this island doesn't have coordinates on the world map. Turns out it's some kind of alien prison island! But why would that old fox Hughes arrange his residence in an alien prison? Does that mean the aliens are in cahoots with him?"

Eighty-Brother's eyes darted around, "Even the Sentinel probably doesn't know this place, yet we've found it."

Dian Wei chuckled, "Does that mean, brother, everyone in this bar except for us isn't human?"

Xu Chu rubbed his hands together, eager for battle, and said, "Then when the fighting starts, we won't need to hold back at all. They're all inhuman, we can kill them all! It'll be so much fun!"

Brother Eighty slapped each of them, saying, "You two are such bastards. If you're going to put on an act, you have to do it properly. Don't be so quick to shout about fighting and killing. This is the real world, not some incognito."

Just then, an alien resembling a foreigner with chestnut-brown curly hair stood up in the bar, reeking of alcohol, and addressed the aliens around him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look me in the eye! I have something to announce, and it concerns Mr. Hughes. I hope you will all listen attentively!"

Upon hearing this, the people in the corner immediately perked up their ears.

The alien, reeking of alcohol, spoke eloquently: "As everyone knows, the most powerful beings on this planet are none other than five: [The Great Wall Watch], [Raging Seas], [Winter Is Coming], [Sunset Glow], and [The Iron Tower Still Stands]."

"Of these, since Pangu, [Raging Seas], [Winter Is Coming], [The Iron Tower Still Stands], and [Sunset Glow] have all been wiped out. Now there is only [The Great Wall Watch]! Logically speaking, the highest power throne of Homo sapiens should belong to [The Great Wall Watch].

"But [Wall Watcher] is too old and no longer meets the requirements to serve as the Speaker of the Supreme Council, but [Wall Watcher] has an apprentice."

"This apprentice has recently launched an attack on Mr. Hughes."

"This guy has guts, and he plans to confront Mr. Hughes in three days—no, forty-eight hours!"

"We've lived a carefree life under Mr. Hughes's protection for so many years. Don't you think we should do something to help him?"
